He suffered a set back in his UCL rehab earlier this weekend in Arizona."Well here’s some really bad news that I wish I could say was a very late and very cruel April Fool’s Day joke.The Reds announced this evening that top prospect Hunter Greene will undergo Tommy John surgery.The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans broke the news a few minutes earlier in the evening. He also provided a bit of detail on the surgery.Dr. ElAttrache is also who will be performing the reconstruction for Corey Knebel Tony Conigliaro Jersey , which is only topical because as I type this, the Reds are currently playing the Milwaukee Brewers.Greene was shut down early in August 2018 to tend to a UCL sprain. He and the team opted for rest and rehabilitation to nurse the injury, rather than go immediately under the knife. Obviously, the idea was to try and get it right without having to miss over a year recovering from surgery. The gamble, such as it was one, won’t pay off here, as Greene will now miss all of 2019 and, probably, half of 2020 before returning to the mound in a competitive baseball game.Greene was the number two overall selection in the 2017 MLB draft. He pitched only four professional innings in that season. He went to Dayton to begin the year in 2018 http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , where he pitched 68.1 innings for a 4.48 ERA for the Dragons. That number includes a pretty rough first month from the 18-year-old hurler, as from May forward, that ERA number drops to 3.13.Hunter Greene wowed in last season’s Future’s Game, throwing 19 pitches over 100 mph.So, basically, this all sucks and everything is terrible. Greene won’t turn 20 until August of this year, so there’s still a lot of time for the youngster to come back and pitch well for the Reds. Still, this is terrible, terrible news for the team and its fans.We wish nothing but the best for Hunter Greene.

Sean Newcomb had a strong first two innings, but the third inning was less kind. After giving up a leadoff single, Newcomb got two outs but then gave up a two-run home run to Kyle Farmer to give the Reds a 2-0. Newcomb did proceed to strike out the next batter to give him four up until that point, but the damage had already been done. Newcomb would finish his day with a line of 4 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 0 BB (yay) J. D. Martinez Jersey , and 5 strikeouts.The Braves got on the board in the bottom of the 5th inning thanks to a familiar face. After Alex Jackson led off the inning with a single, Johan Camargo brought him on a double to bring the score to 2-1. Dansby Swanson, who seems like a new hitter this spring, then connected for his second home run in as many days to give the Braves a 3-2 lead. It was Dansby’s second opposite field home run in as many days.Kyle Wright came in for the 5th inning and pitched a clean inning. The sixth inning, however, was not as kind as he gave up a pair of singles followed by a two-run double off the bat of Curt Casali to give the Reds the lead back. A sacrifice fly later and the Braves found themselves in a 5-3 hole. Wright was better in the 7th with an infield single his only blemish. Overall, it was another uneven outing for Kyle with a final line of 4 IP, 5 H, 3 ER Paul Goldschmidt Jersey , 0 BB, and 2 K before he gave way to Jesse Biddle in the ninth with the Braves still down a pair of runs.The Braves still made things interesting with their final three outs, though. Sean Kazmar lead off the inning with a single and after Alex Jackson struck out, Cristian Pache made a pinch-hitting appearance and on a soft grounder to third, he forced a bad throw which put runners on second and third with one out. Rafael Ortega would then walk to load the bases for the Braves and bring Pedro Florimon to the plate. Florimon then proceeded to connect for a walk-off grand slam to send the Braves into the regular season with a walk-off win.
